Assume an ordinary posture for backing up, rest your hands
lightly on the steering wheel without applying any force, direc tly
confirm the safety of the area t o the rear and around the vehic le,
confirm that there are no obsta cles in the parking space, and
slowly back up while adjusting your speed by depressing the
brake pedal.
● When the vehicle cannot be cleanly entered within the target
parking spot on the first try and multi-turn maneuvering is nec -
essary, proceed to step .
● When multi-turn maneuvering is not necessary, proceed to
step . ( P. 403)
When a beep sounds once
and the stop display ( P. 3 8 5 )
is shown on the display, stop
the vehicle.
Change the shift position to D.
When you would like to end assist control at your current position,
change the shift position to P.
Assume an ordinary driving postu re, rest your hands lightly on
the steering wheel without applying any force, directly confirm
the safety of the area to the front and around the vehicle and

Assume an ordinary posture for backing up, rest your hands
lightly on the steering wheel without applying any force, direc tly
confirm the safety of the area to the rear and around the vehic le
slowly back up while adjusting your speed by depressing the
brake pedal.
Depending on the condition of the parking space, steps to may
need to be repeated.
When the vehicle is almost entire ly within the target parking spot,
a high-pitched beep is emitted and the stop display is shown on
the display ( P. 385), stop the vehicle.
This completes the back-in parking assist mode.
● For safety, the buzzer sounds slightly before the vehicle is
completely entered within the target parking spot. Further-
more, at that point, system operation will also finish. Firmly
hold the steering wheel and slowly back up while adjusting
your speed by depressing the brake pedal to reach the desired
parking spot.
● Be sure to back up while checking the area to the front and
rear of the vehicle direct ly and by using the mirrors.
■Back-in parking assist m ode operating conditions
● In order to operate the function correctly, drive slowly (at a speed at which
the vehicle can be quickly stopped).
● In order to operate the function correctly, drive slowly (at a speed at which
the vehicle can be quickly stopped). Come to a full stop so tha t the center of
the parking space is nearly perpendicular to the vehicle, and t hen operate
the S-APGS switch.
● The function cannot be used when the vehicle speed is approxima tely
19 mph (30 km/h) or higher.
● The front side sensors and rear side sensors are used to detect parked
vehicles and determine the parking spot. Therefore, when detection is not
possible ( P. 414), guidance is not issued.
● If there are no parked vehicles, the parking spot cannot be det ermined.
Therefore, the back-in parking assist mode cannot be operated.
● If unable to detect the environment surrounding the parking space, the
back-in parking assist mode may not be able to operate.

■Tips for using the back-in parking assist mode ●Depending on the condition of the park-
ing space, if there is not enough space
in front of the vehicle required to perform
the parking operation, the target parking
spot may not be reachable.
Intended parking spot
Wall
● Leave a gap of approximately 3.3 ft.
(1 m) from any parked vehicles and
approach the target parking spot. If the
gap between your vehicle and any
parked vehicles is too large, the front
side sensors and rear side sensors may
not be able to detect the parked vehi-
cles.
● Stop so that the center of the target
parking spot is perpendicular to the vehi-
cle. Furthermore, only push the S-APGS
switch when the vehicle is at a complete
stop.
NOTICE
●If the road surface has any dips or inclines, the target parking spot cannot
be correctly set. Therefore, the vehicle may be parked at an angle or may
deviate from the parking spot. In these cases, do not use the back-in park-
ing assist mode.
● When parking in a narrow space, the vehicle will come close to adjacent
vehicles. If it seems the vehicle may make contact, stop the ve hicle by
depressing the brake pedal.
● It may not be possible to detect objects that are low to the ground. Directly
confirm the safety of your surroundings and, if it seems the vehicle may
make contact with an obstacle, stop the vehicle by depressing the brake
pedal.
● Depending on the surrounding environment, such as other parked vehi-
cles, the vehicle may be parked at an angle or may deviate from the park-
ing spot. Manually adjust vehicle alignment as necessary.

WARNING
●Do not use the system in the following situations, as the syste m may be
unable to correctly assist you in reaching the target parking s pot and may
lead to an unexpected accident.
• In an area that is not a parking lot
• A parking lot that is not paved and has no parking space lines , such as
a sand or gravel parking lot
• A parking lot that has a slope or undulations in the road
• A frozen, snow-covered or slippery road
• The asphalt is melting due to hot weather
• There is an obstacle between the vehicle and the target parking spot
• Using tire chains or compact spare tire (if equipped)
● Do not use tire other than that provided by the manufacturer. T he system
may not operate properly. When replacing tires, contact your Toyota
dealer.
● The system may not be able position the vehicle in the set location in the
following situations.
• The tires are extremely worn or the tire pressure is low
• The vehicle is carrying very heavy load
• The vehicle is tilted due to having luggage, etc. located on one side of
the vehicle
• There are road heaters installed in the parking lot to prevent the road
surface from freezing.
In any other situations when the set position and vehicle position greatly
differ, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.
● Make sure to observe the following precautions regarding the exit parallel
parking assist mode.
Exit parallel parking assist mode is a function used when depar ting from a
parallel parking spot. However, this function may not be usable if obsta-
cles or people are detected in front of the vehicle. Only use this function
when departing from a parallel parking spot. In the event that the steering
control operates, either turn the system off using the S-APGS s witch or
operate the steering wheel to stop the control.
● If exit parallel parking assist mode is mistakenly used in the following situ-
ations, the vehicle may make contact with an obstacle.
The departure function is operated in a direction where an obstacle is
present, but the obstacle is not detected by the side sensors ( situations
such as when the vehicle is directly beside a pole).
